  • Report Into Infant Cremations at the Emstrey Crematorium Shrewsbury
    Report into Infant Cremations at the Emstrey Crematorium Shrewsbury May 2015 Foreword Last November, Shropshire Council asked me to lead an inquiry into the way in which infant cremations have been carried out at the Emstrey Crematorium, in Shrewsbury. I began work in December 2014, and have been ably supported throughout by John Doyle, an independent research assistant. There can surely be no more painful experience than losing one’s infant child. Bereaved families have carefully and vividly explained to me how their sense of emptiness after losing their child felt all the more desolate for having had no ashes returned to them after the cremation. They feel strongly that to have retained a tangible memory of their lost child would have helped them through their grieving. This inquiry has established that the cremation equipment and techniques that were employed at the Emstrey Crematorium between 1996 and 2012 resulted in there being no ashes from the cremation of children of less than a year old that could be returned to funeral directors and families. This practice seems to have been accepted locally as the norm. The inquiry has also established that, using appropriate equipment and cremation techniques, it is normally possible to preserve ashes from infant cremations. The records show that ashes have been returned to funeral directors in all cases of infant cremations conducted at Emstrey since new equipment was installed, and different cremation techniques adopted, from January 2013. I hope that this report explains to families, councillors, staff and others, the circumstances that resulted in no ashes being returned to bereaved families between 1996 and 2012.

  • An Excavation in the Inner Bailey of Shrewsbury Castle
    An excavation in the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle Nigel Baker January 2020 An excavation in the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle Nigel Baker BA PhD FSA MCIfA January 2020 A report to the Castle Studies Trust 1. Shrewsbury Castle: the inner bailey excavation in progress, July 2019. North to top. (Shropshire Council) Summary In May and July 2019 a two-phase archaeological investigation of the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle took place, supported by a grant from the Castle Studies Trust. A geophysical survey by Tiger Geo used resistivity and ground-penetrating radar to identify a hard surface under the north-west side of the inner bailey lawn and a number of features under the western rampart. A trench excavated across the lawn showed that the hard material was the flattened top of natural glacial deposits, the site having been levelled in the post-medieval period, possibly by Telford in the 1790s. The natural gravel was found to have been cut by a twelve-metre wide ditch around the base of the motte, together with pits and garden features. One pit was of late pre-Conquest date. 1 Introduction Shrewsbury Castle is situated on the isthmus, the neck, of the great loop of the river Severn containing the pre-Conquest borough of Shrewsbury, a situation akin to that of the castles at Durham and Bristol. It was in existence within three years of the Battle of Hastings and in 1069 withstood a siege mounted by local rebels against Norman rule under Edric ‘the Wild’ (Sylvaticus). It is one of the best-preserved Conquest-period shire-town earthwork castles in England, but is also one of the least well known, no excavation having previously taken place within the perimeter of the inner bailey.

  • Gloucestershire County Bridge Association
    Gloucestershire County Bridge Association Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held at Cheltenham Bridge Club on Sunday 21st May 2017 at 1.30pm. The President (Jim Simons) was in the Chair and 40 other members attended 1 There was one apology for absence received 2 The minutes of the AGM held on June 5th 2016 were approved nem con with no corrections 3 President’s Report I’d like to start by expressing my thanks, and I hope yours, to all the people who have worked for the association over the year. Volunteer-run organisations don’t run without the volunteers! Starting with the officers, David Simons as secretary, Val Constable as Treasurer, Paul Denning as Chief Tournament Director, and Anne Swannell as catering officer have done most of the heavy lifting. We have recently co-opted Patrick Shields as Vice-President and he has been doing work on strategy, and we shall be hearing from him shortly. Peter Waggett has taken it upon himself to collect the money most Mondays – he says he quite likes money! As usual the Cheltenham Congress and the Green Point event in Ross-on-Wye were great successes attracting players from far afield as well as the local. We owe a great debt of gratitude to those who worked so hard to run them. For the congress, that is David Simons, Val Constable, Anne Swannell, Ro Kaye, John Skjonnemand and Paul Clarke. For the Green Point Event, it is pretty much just Alan Wearmouth, and the Herefordshire people. Looking at results outside the county, way back almost a year ago in June 2016, Wendy and Joe Angseesing and Ian and Val Constable won the Midland Counties Challenge Bowl ahead of teams from Worcestershire, Warwickshire Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
